Only a rare few cared for her and showed her warmth in this cruel world. But the Heavens didn’t give her the chance to live peacefully. It took the little things she had and pushed her over the edge into the bottomless abyss. Filled with despair and sadness, she had to hide and bide her time as a lot of people wished for her death. “I have lost everything; you can’t take anything else from me.

Chapter 1Talent Test

Chen Kingdom Capital, Central Hall

"Dad, what's that?" a young girl around six years old tugged on her father's clothes. Her dark black hair fluttered along with the wind. Even though her clothes were disheveled and looked rather worn out, one look was all they needed to see that this young girl was really cute.

A man stood beside the girl, protecting the girl carefully. He has similar features with the girl except his eyes was blue-green rather than green like the girl. The man patted the girl's head tenderly.

"Jiao'er, that's the place for the test."

The young girl, Ye Jiao, looked at her father with a worried expression. "But Dad…"

"There's no need to worry," The man picked up his daughter carefully and let her rest on his arm. He smiled tenderly. "Whatever happens, you have my back."

Ye Jiao's brows knitted in worry, but she nodded her head. Snuggled in her father's embrace, she hid her cute face from other people's line of sight. Her small hand clutched her father's clothes closely.

The man, Ye Xiao, patted his daughter's back. Even though he didn't like this arrangement, every six-years-old-child has to undergo the test. It was the rule for their country to determine who has the talent or not. Slowly, he made his way to the hall where numerous children and their parents were already inside.

The test was relatively easy as it was hard for children to do anything complicated. All they have to do is put their hand on the surface of the large stone in the middle of the room. It would naturally calculate the talent they have and show it based on the color. It started from red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple, with purple being the best.

Ye Xiao stopped near the circle. Parents were not allowed to get inside and aid their children because it was all up to their children.

"Ye Xiao, you've finally showed up."

The voice made Ye Xiao instinctively hold his daughter tighter. Even though Ye Jiao didn't know what happened, she could feel her father's body tensed up. Her small hands clutched her father's clothes tighter, trying to tell her father that she would be fine.

Ye Xiao turned his glance to the side. He saw a man in his mid-thirties standing not far from him. The man has natural disposition of a leader. He had a good appearance with a long beard under his chin, which he caressed slowly using his finger. His large built and specially made clothes made people understood that this was not a man they could offend. He held a high position in this kingdom.

He forced his emotions to calm down. "It has been some time, General Wei Shang."

We Shang smiled, yet there was no mirth in his eyes. "Your daughter has just turned 6 years old? What a coincidence, my daughter too."

The mockery in Wei Shang's tone was exceptionally clear. He completely disregarded Ye Xiao because he knew that this man didn't have the qualification to defeat him. Be it power or influence, Wei Shang was far above Ye Xiao.

"I see," Ye Xiao replied in an unhurried tone.

Wei Shang's gaze turned to look at the young girl in Ye Xiao's arms. "Is there any need to test her again? Everyone here knows that she's just a cripple, a trash that will never be able to learn the arts."

"Watch what you say!" Ye Xiao blurted out. He glared back at Wei Shang as ripples started to appear around his body, indicating that he was close to using his power.

Wei Shang sneered. "Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao, you might have been a great genius seven years ago, but now you're nothing more than a weakling. You have wasted your time and potential. The current you is not worth anything."

Ye Xiao didn't reply anymore. He put Ye Jiao down with his back facing Wei Shang. Someone like this disgusted him too much that he didn't want to taint his daughter's eyes. It would be better for her to never see him.

"Ye Jiao, just do your best."

The young girl noticed her father's worry in her. Ye Jiao stretched up her arm and put on a bright smile on her face. "Don't worry, Dad. I will return back soon."

With that, Ye Jiao turned around and headed to the circle. She lined up at the very back of the line, allowing the other children to have their tests before her. Her eyes were looking at her arm with hope that this test would change her fate.

Wei Shang shook his head. "You should just kill that girl. Because of her, your wife left you. A genius producing a trash, what a disgrace."

"Don't spout nonsense, Wei Shang," Ye Xiao's eyes glinted with ruthlessness. Even if he was weaker than this man, he didn't want to back down. No matter what other people said, he would never abandon his daughter.

"You don't have the qualification to call my name directly, Ye Xiao," Wei Shang's aura grew fiercer. His eyes locked straight onto the insolent man in front of him. "I'll let you go this time because you're my disgusting brother-in-law, but if you dare to say my name directly again, I'll cut off your tongue."

Ye Xiao harrumphed and looked at the children. A young girl with cute features was standing in the middle, getting ready to be tested. Her dark brown hair fluttered along as she walked to the center. Her small hand was placed on the stone while the man by the side waited for the reaction.

"That's my daughter," Wei Shang grinned.

Hearing the man's claim, Ye Xiao frowned. His eyes didn't move as he watched the stone started to shine in blue, a very familiar color to him. The blue color looked exceptionally beautiful as it enveloped the entire hall with its color, showing the large potential she has.

"Oh, she's just slightly lower than you," Wei Shang rubbed his chin. "But as expected of my children, they're all amazing unlike a certain someone who produces someone even worse than him."

"Amazing!" one of the people exclaimed.

His friend nodded. "It seems that the Wei Family has produced another genius."

"It's expected, isn't it?"

"Yes…"

Many people gave compliments to the young girl. Other children were also looking at the girl with admiration. It was rare for them to produce such a good result, so they knew that this girl must have great potential.

Ye Xiao ignored the man beside him as other children started being tested. The majority of them only have orange or yellow color. Occasionally green color would appear, but those who could reach light blue or blue color like Wei Shang's daughter was exceptionally rare.

At the back, Ye Jiao waited patiently for the students to end their test. Some of them had gone home while some others were watching the children testing their potential one by one.

"Next."

Ye Jiao noticed that she was the last one. Her hand trembled a bit as she placed it on the stone, which felt a bit cold at touch. Faint energy was emitted from the stone. Ye Jiao's eyes watched as the energy in the stone entered her body bit by bit, but there was no change in the stone.

No light emitted at all.

It was known that if the stone didn't give any reaction, it meant that the kid couldn't use the energy at all, or in other words: trash.

Young master Damien's pet

"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir, it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind. "Bring the man here." "N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night. Damien who hadn't broken his eye contact with the girl in front of him, pushed his hand against the wall which now rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his Master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain. "No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings. Meet Damien Quinn, a pureblooded vampire who is a complete narcissist, brash with his words and stingy even though he is rich who haggled when he bought a slave from the black market. On the other hand, meet Penelope who believes she is a 'guest' for a few days at the Quinn as she is intent on escaping from the odd vampire who needs therapy. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

I hate how I think of more to say AFTER I submitted a review. *smh* Really, Cai. Really? *smh more* As a more in depth review, I'd like to point out how the writer depicts Ye Jiao's journey so well. Not only does she focus on her advancement as an Eon Energy Master but she also writes about her journey in companionship. The story itself embodies different elements in the MC's life and how it impacts her along the way. The balance among these elements are superb. The writing of them also impacts readers effectively. Whether a reader is a loner or an extrovert, he/she will find herself able to relate to Ye Jiao and the other characters. The cast is pact with personalities. No one is complacent or unimportant. They all contribute to the story beautifully—these includes the antagonists (although they seem easy to hate tbh) but if there's anything I learned in the writer's first novel, "Flowers Bloom From Battlefield," is that the younger ones have more chance to grow and redeem themselves. Most of their attitude comes with upbringing. I hope this is tackled later on in the story more when they could decide for themselves rather on relying on others' opinion. The flow of the journey seem to start out slow but the advantage of it is easing readers into the world the story has. The MC is merely a child at the beginning, a phase were she herself is discovering her own world. Her adventure leads her to a number of places and I have no doubt she'll travel more, letting us deeper into the setting. The road ahead of Ye Jiao is still long and I can't wait to be there every step of the way. Only more adventures and milestones awaits!
